I think the preperation of the surface took longer than the actual painting.. I used mod podge, watercolor paper, pink tissue paper, and texture paint on cardboard to get the textures.. then painted over in acrylics. Lace too. The idea for this popped up when I was close to falling asleep around 4 a.m. and had to get up and scribble down the rough draft. When I first thought of it there were lots of silly characters on rafts and surf boards.. but the composition changed when I was painting so I left them out. Think it works better this way anyhow. I did the crazy texture stuff before I knew what I was going to paint on it so a lotta things changed from the sketch to the painting.
i like this a lot. it gives off this feeling. i dont know...

The lace is an awesome effect. It's just subtle enough so that you can see it's lace, but can't really habituate your mind to it right away. Delicious.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
This is YOUR opportunity to mock, ridicule and generally take great delight and amusement whilst poking fun at the beloved Volunteers and Staff of deviantART.
